Resident Evil 5 Remastered Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
The PlayStation-era of games is often criticized as a generation that has aged poorly, thanks to muddy 3D visuals and controls. The 2002 GameCube remake of 1996's Resident Evil fixed the former, but some still found the infamous tank controls cumbersome. This new remastered HD iteration frees the game from its sluggish shackles like a doberman freed from its winter booties.

All in all, Resident Evil HD Remaster is a fun romp back into the survival horror genre of years gone and thankfully a clear example of what can be done to an aged title if enough dedication and effort is put forward. This is the best version of Resident Evil to date despite the zooming issues or the camera angles, all of which you’ll forget about as your fighting for dear life.

I find it interesting that 2002 Capcom completely remade a beloved title so it felt like a new game, whereas 2015 Capcom just re-releases a 13-year-old remake with a controls, widescreen and texture patch.

While the fixed camera angles and the adventure-game like puzzles will shock more recent series fans it’s all still enjoyable...
Resident Evil HD is the definitive way to experience the forefather of the survival horror genre. There may be some elements that are frustratingly outdated but the game is still terrifying and plenty of fun to play.
Once finishing the game, there are several new modes unlocked that pose more of a challenge to veteran players including one where all enemies are invisible as well as costumes for the main characters. Finally, there’s even some unlockables that will help ease the tension after a tense playthrough – like a rocket launcher. So while it doesn’t have immense replay value akin to an online shooter, Resident Evil is easily playable at least twice or even double that if you want to see all the endings on offer.
